✒️ Mods Description

It's an easy rabbit hole job. Almost all career levels are taken from the original mod (with small changes). However, I have changed and adjusted the working hours, work clothes, promotion criteria, wage levels, etc. 

The job has the following levels:

Main Track:

• Workshop Cleaner
• Car Washer
• Repair Assistant

Repair Service Track:

• Tyre Fitter
• Mechanic
• Mechatronics Engineer
• Chief Mechanic
• Quality Inspector
• Repair Expert
• Workshop Supervisor

Auto Design Track:

• Vinyl Wrapper
• Respray Master
• Interior Decorator
• Bodykit Designer
• Style Creator
• Project Supervisor
• Head of Department

Since this is not an academic job, no college degrees are required for promotion anywhere. But you need the necessary skills. Many job levels will also require your Sim to perform some active tasks in order to be promoted. This also includes some new interactions on the computer in the career area.

🈯 Translation

• Original strings in English and Russian by YouLie (updated by me).
• German and Spanish strings made by myself.
• Danish strings made by Misling (not updated, so incomplete).
• Chinese and Simplified Chinese strings made by WANZI (not updated, so incomplete).
• For all other players everything is then in English.

If anyone would like to translate this mod into other languages, or would like to improve or add to the already existing translations, I would be very grateful.
